 Fascinating February 17, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you've got an addictive personality, crave to win, have superior discipline, and love craps, pick up Frank's book on dice control. I've got alot of his books, and this one is really kind of an insider's guide to touch and influencing results. This ability will definitely not come without an investment of hundreds and hundreds of hours, but if you spend alot of time in Vegas hotels like Frank, that should be that difficult. Highly recommended book. Same with his roulette guide.
 A "Must Have" Book For Any Casino Players Library February 6, 2007

I started reading Scoblete a few months ago when I picked up a copy of the revised edition of "Beat The Craps Out Of The Casino". I then continued on with "Forever Craps" and finally, this GTC book.
What has always impressed me about Mr. Scoblete's writing is that he is very much a straight shooter: he doesn't try to come up with crazy progressive betting schemes. He eschews 90% of the table bets offered, like any knowledgable player of craps should. And he knows how to make a good blend of storytelling and practical information.
Do not think that this is as simple as card counting (Or at least, as simple as GTC Speed Counting, which is like childs play). Dice control is a very involved, intense physical skill, requiring daily practice. Like golf, if you want to do it at the *absolute peek* of perfection, you will probably need to spend several hundred dollars on training seminars and practice equipment (or build your own if you are handy. The rubber pyramids alone though are pricey). Mr. Scoblete makes no false promises. He wholeheartedly admits that most players will lack the discipline to become an advantage player. But what he does discuss makes perfect sense. Just picking up the dice and making a hundred throws at home, I can already see the power that the right grip and the right dice set can have, as opposed to any lunk who picks up "them bones" and just flings them willy-nilly at the back.
Avery Cardoza's works are good for a beginners primer. But if you want to take your play from "skilled, but ultimately losing" to "very skilled, and ultimately winning", "Scobe" is the man to go to.
The Cream de la Creme. October 16, 2006

This is the book that Frank Scoblete has hidden away up to now.
Having read 1 other prior work by Frank, this book will confirm everything that his previous works did not disclose openly.
If you had any doubts about dice control but are still interested in pursuing the facts, then this book is for you.
In Words and Pictures You Learn to Win June 22, 2006
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
There are many books on craps and some books on controlled shooting but this is far and away the best one. Frank Scoblete who has written a number of great craps books and his partner Dice Dominator have put together a book that shows you one step at a time how to get and edge at the game of craps using the Golden Touch Craps dice control method.
There are about a hundred excellent pictures in the book and also excellent advice on betting on yourself once you have achieved some level of control and also just as important how to deal with the regular "random" shooters at the table. To win at craps you have to have a controlled throw, the "Golden Touch," but you have to bet properly using that throw and also not lose your money on the other players.
The book also has some words of wisdom from the Captain, the world record holder with a roll of 147, and most of the Golden Touch Craps dice control experts such as Stickman and Bill Burton.
If you are interested in beating the game of craps then this is the book to get. Having read them all I can tell you buy this one and don't waste your money on anything else.
I also note that Scoblete has had many rolls in the 50s and one roll that went to 89 and Dominator has also had great rolls. This tells me that these guys are the real deal and it shows in the book, a truly great book and one that is well written, clear and completely understandable.
Extraordinary Book on Dice Control June 9, 2006
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
The casinos of America must hate Frank Scoblete and Dominator because they have shown a step by step way to get the edge at craps through both pictures and words in this new book. Or maybe the casinos love them because many people may try this and also fail at it.
The book explains the physical elements of dice control. How to set the dice, where to stand at the table, how to grip the dice, swing your arm properly and throw the dice. It shows how the dice hit the table with a backspin that retards their forward motion and how they hit the back wall and die.
I became interested in this when I read about the Captain's 147 hand roll in Atlantic City and I bought the book to see if there was anything to it. I have been practicing now for several months and using my SRR which means Sevens to rolls ration I now have cut down on the appearance of the seven.
I have won on most of my trips to the casinos since my practice sessions have begun and even though I don't win every time the difference between my performance before this book and after it is like night and day.
I know Scoblete has written many books on gambling but this has to be his finest because if you are a craps player you should get it right away and start practicing.
